Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Title: USACE vibracores: Staten Island, 2000 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This data set is from a hard copy report retrieved from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in December of 2001. "A total of fifteen (15) vibracores were obtained by the R/V Atlantic Twin between the 1st of July and the 5th of July 2000. The fifteen (15) vibracores were returned to Alpine's plant in Norwood, New Jersey where they were split open lingitudinally, photographed with a digital camera, described by our in-house Geologist and sampled for grain size analysis. One half of the split core was wrapped and sealed in plastic tubing for eventual archiving at the New York District warehouse at Caven Point, New Jersey. Grain size analysis was performed at Johnson Soil Laboratories in Palisades Park, New Jersey." Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to create a digital version of the coring data from several U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects located off the coasts of New York and New Jersey and for inclusion in the usSEABED data collection.
